Purpose:
To examine the impact of satisfaction with psychological rewards (received from the head nurse and from physicians) and with pay on Chinese nurses' work attitudes.
Method:
We conducted a cross-sectional survey in China. A total of 413 nurses completed our survey. We examined the effect of satisfactions with psychological rewards and pay on work attitudes by performing a series of hierarchical regression analyses.
Findings:
We found that both satisfaction with pay and satisfaction with psychological rewards from the head nurse significantly predicted work attitudes, whereas satisfaction with psychological rewards from physicians did not.
Conclusions:
Our results illustrate that when nurses feel satisfied with their pay and the psychological rewards received from the head nurse they exhibit more positive work attitudes.
